For ground mounted I suggest insulated wire (I'm actually using insulated
on a roof mounted 12AVQ). Even with bent radials, if there is any way you
can elevate the vertical and radials at least 8 feet off the ground (unless
you're right near salt water), I think you might possibly get better results.
